GROWN UP

Lolipops turn into cigarettes.the innocent ones turn into sluts.homework goes in the TRASH. detention became suspension. mobile phones are used in class.soda becomes vodka. bikes become cars. kisses turn into SEX. remember when getting high meant swinging at the playground?when protection meant wearing a helmet?when the worst things you could get from boys were COOTIES? dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth, and your mom was your HERO? race issues were who ran the fastest. the only drug you knew was cough medicine. the most pain you felt was when you scraped your knees. goodbyes were only until TOMORROW.we couldn''t even wait to GROW UP...
